The STRC offering marks multiple firsts: it is the first U.S.-listed perpetual preferred security from a Bitcoin treasury company and the first to pay monthly dividends using a board-determined rate policy.
It also introduces a new short-duration, income-oriented structure aimed at broadening access to yield-focused investors.
Strategy now offers four Nasdaq-listed securities (MSTR, STRK, STRF, STRD), with STRC as its latest addition, reinforcing its capital markets strategy to raise funds for direct Bitcoin acquisition.
The offering was led by Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Moelis & Company and TD Securities, among others.
The company has continued to position itself as the world’s first Bitcoin Treasury Company, using a combination of equity, debt and operational cash flows to build and expand its Bitcoin holdings while offering investors different risk profiles through structured financial instruments.
